Abortion is Pro-Life Suggests Kerry in Latest Democrat Parody of Pro-Life Language

NEW YORK, February 4, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Last week pro-lifers reacted with disdain when Hillary Clinton belatedly attempted to modify, at least in the public eye, her militant support for abortion. She failed to impress with her sincerity when she called abortion a ‘tragic choice’ for women and suggested abortifacient contraceptives as a solution. Exit polls showing voter interest in moral issues has shaken Democrat confidence in their leftist social agenda.

This week, former presidential candidate John Kerry, still calling himself a Catholic, followed the new Democratic Party policy in attempting to use pro-life language to continue pushing their agenda of unrestricted abortion. Kerry claims that the Democrats “have talked about this for a long period of time.”

Kerry’s remarks came in an interview on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’. “The discussion is not about being pro-abortion. The discussion is about how you truly value life. Valuing life is also valuing choice. Valuing life is the exception for the life of a mother or rape or incest,” he said.

“Can anyone make out what he is trying to say?” said Samantha Singson a spokesperson for Canada’s Campaign Life Coalition. “These people are just proving with every word that they don’t have even the concept of a moral framework. They cannot even convincingly pretend to be moral people. I think they should stop trying before they embarrass themselves further,” she said.

Singson said the incident reminded her of a quote from the famed Star Trek character Mr. Spock who said, "a civilized man can pretend to be a barbarian, but no barbarian can pretend to be a civilized man.”

Isn't it ironic that the New Nazi party in the USA [the democrats] is for life as long as it isn't human life?

Lest we all forget which administration attacked with the military [tanks and CS nerve gas banned for use in war] and then MURDERED innocent men women and children by incinerating them at Waco in order to "save" them when nobody was being held hostage or needed "saving" except of course from the leftwing fascist jackboots. Ditto for Ruby Ridge ID.

Yeah..the Klintons are for life alright.../sarc

p.s. Next time something like this happens, I'll be standing in front of one of those tanks taking my stand..and God forgive me for not doing so the first time around. Where will you folks be?

You've gotta be kidding. You don't get to be a senator if you're dense enough to answer that question honestly or directly.

Well, I would have to see the bill in question, and, of course, there's no point in voting for a bill that's immediately going to be overturned by our fine court system. My first priority is the health and safety of the mother, so of course, I'd have to ensure that there were sufficient protections for the mother and family members. As you know, I have long been concerned with women's health issues, and Delta has a history of service to the college, and the community at large. The question is not, did we take a few liberties with our female party guests. We did.

They look like fools everytime they open their mouths on issues of morality. As someone quoted in the article said, it's so foreign to them that they can't even lie convincingly.

What?? A man of God, a priest takes his cue from the irs on what he cant preach from the pulpit? What principled preacher would subvert his sermons to the will of the government... The 1st Amendments prohibits the fed gov from that kind of influence. A priest is a fool if he obeys that law.

Next we have all those black churches where the demoncraps candidates go to just to pander, and the irs dares not to interfere with that sort of mixing polis with religion.

While it may be true a meager few low profile bishops did the right thing, truth is the Cathoilic clergy as a whole sat on their hands and committed the sin of omission. The whole council of American Bishops should have taken a principled stand and been unanimous in condemning and excommunicating this creep. It is a clear cut case of someone voting for partial birth, and the perfect time to take a stand.

Nothing remotely like that occurred... you tell me why?

That post is to convoluted to understand, please explain it better

Actually, Mr Spock's quote makes sense:

"a civilized man can pretend to be a barbarian, but no barbarian can pretend to be a civilized man."

But Kerry's googly gook remark is undecipherable, LOL!

“The discussion is not about being pro-abortion. The discussion is about how you truly value life. Valuing life is also valuing choice. Valuing life is the exception for the life of a mother or rape or incest,”

According to him, some lives are more valuable than others. So it's OK to terminate lives we consider less valuable.

Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion

What does this say about Senator Kerry?

Another Flip Flop?

Pro-Life bump.

Try harder.

LOL -things take time to investigate and declare. This process is by only prescribed judicial procedure carried out by the competent authority. Do some research so that you may appear to know of what you assert.

Try to have some perspective -e.g. Kerry is not as heretical or objectively defiant as Luther was and the process to excommunicate Luther took some time and did not happen until after an official investigation was made and several efforts were made for his redemption...

The purpose of excommunication is not punishment -[it] is done in charity as a fraternal correction in hope of redemption... Kerry may or may not get excommunicated... Regardless, Kerry's status says nothing regarding the moral authority of the Church...

Now -explain how protestants deal with thse type situations?

[aspiring.hillbilly]

I have no idea, I am not a Protestant. All i know is the W got 78% of the evangelical Protestant vote.

"One wonders if the majority of Catholics put into practice their religious beliefs..., or are CINO's themselves?"

I live in one of those blue states, am Catholic, and am pro-life. I tried to get the word out to my fellow parishioners, but when your Parish doesn't allow pro-life information to be distributed, the parishioners are often left in the dark. There is so much misinformation out there, and you know the media plays up liberal conservatives and liberal priests, it's hard for a Catholic living in a blue state to get the record straight. For those who know the facts, and still adhere to a culture of death, they are no doubt CINOs. For those who don't have the facts, it's up to us to educate them.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

Thank you for all you do, ones like you are too few in number.

"...but when your Parish doesn't allow pro-life information to be distributed, the parishioners are often left in the dark. "

DO IT ANYWAY..PICKET IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND PASS THAT LITERATURE OUT. Let the priest make a fool of himself trying to stop you. Throw the book at him by quoting the catechism to him about the subject of abortion. TAKE a STAND, for Gods sake, He did not put you on this earth to sit on your hands and do nothing....!
